Williams was suspended for six months without pay in February after he owned up to repeatedly telling an exaggerated story about his time covering the Iraq War in 2003. Williams has admitted "misremembering" the Iraq incident in which he was in a helicopter that got shot down. NBC is currently conducting an internal investigation into other Williams stories. His future at the network remains in doubt.

Days after the Williams scandal bubbled to the surface, the liberal magazine Mother Jones published a report indicating that O'Reilly had told his own exaggerated story about his time in Argentina covering the 1982 Falklands War. O'Reilly has repeatedly claimed to have covered the conflict in a "war zone," despite the fact that he reported from Buenos Aires -- far from the fighting in and around the Falkland Islands.

More questions surfaced about some of his other claims, and eventually he was forced to clarify that he hadn't actually witnessed atrocities while covering the civil war in El Salvador and "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland. Instead, he saw photos depicting violence from each conflict. And O'Reilly still hasn't offered an explanation about evidence that contradicts his claim to have been at the scene when an associate of Lee Harvey Oswald committed suicide in the late 1970s.
